AICD: Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator – Definition
An AICD is a tiny electronic device that doctors put under your skin near your collarbone. It watches your heartbeat all the time. If it notices your heart beating dangerously fast or out of control, it gives a quick electric shock to get your heart back to a normal beat. It’s like having a little life-saving machine on standby inside you.
Doctors usually give an AICD to people who have had a sudden cardiac arrest or who have heart problems that make them likely to have dangerous rhythms. The device can also act like a pacemaker to keep the heart from beating too slowly.
Heart rhythm specialists program the AICD so it knows exactly when and how to help, which makes it an important tool for preventing sudden death.
